I also had no problem with either of these files. Not that I expected this test to tell me much, since there's nothing in your log that even looks like an actual request for the files, and you made it clear that it didn't get to the point of transferring. Maybe a debug log would reveal something more, I dunno.

Have you tried putting one of the "problem" files into a share by itself?

Ill try putting one of these files into a share by itself and see. Would an old tivo with no free space start to act strange?

keep-until-I-delete means just that - keep it until I explicitly delete it. So space taken up by KUID recordings is locked. The TiVo will never delete those recordings on its own.

Also, as I stated previously, the transcoded recording that ends up on the TiVo will be much larger than the file on the PC. The capacity of a 1TB drive is @157 hours of HD.

Question - are the sizes shown on the TivoDesktop app to transfer from the Tivo to the Desktop accurate, because I used the Tivo App and got the ~500GB number from the Tivo Desktop app, or do .tivo files on the tivo take up even more room?

Is there any way to tell if the tivo being full of keep-until-i-delete is causing something not to transfer?

No idea. I don't use TD. pyTivo reports the size of "Mimi wo sumaseba" as 13.4GB. I just started a transfer to my THD. The length in the info for the entry in the NPL is 14.08GB.

edit: I'll report back when the xfer completes. Ir's gonna be a while.
edit2: Transfer complete. Reported size is 5.56GB. Sort of irrelevant. The TiVo has to create enough free space to hold the calculated maximum.

However, when I select all of the to transfer its only 496GB worth in 371 entries. There should be 1TB available in there. (WD10EVCS - not supersized). I guess im out of space ?

You're not out of space, but the TiVo thinks you are -- or will be, when taking into account upcoming recordings. (It gets really bad if you use KUID as a default setting for season passes, for instance.)

I recommend that you use KUID very sparingly, or not at all. Clear it from your existing recordings, and I feel confident your transfers will start working again. It's not a pyTivo thing, just a TiVo thing.

Got a quick question that has nagged me a bit. pyTivo is working fine on my systems. I can push or pull. but...

When going to MyShows on the Roamio and scroll down the list to where the pytivo shares are, they all show up but are grayed out. Selecting one still brings up the list of shows in the share, folders even work but why are they grayed out? Also, the list of shares show up with a DVR appended to each share name and old Tivo's that are no longer on my network and long gone show up in the list grayed out.

Any ideas how to fix some of these issues?

Something on your LANs is generating (what zeroconf.py considers to be) malformed zeroconf packets. But that probably has nothing to do with either pyTivo or any TiVo. I'd use something like Bonjour Browser or Avahi to try to figure out what was going on.

I will have to look into it tonight then. The only thing I have changed was to pull the latest PyTiVo update since I hadn't updated recently, and I haven't seen the error before now.

How often should we update pyTiVo? I was having some kind of errors pop up from the version I was using that was months old. It had been fine and then the errors started happening last week. So I deleted everything and installed the newest version. So far things have been fine.

I run two copies of pyTivo on the same machine, one on 9032 and the other on 9036.

I sometimes use a browser on my phone to access them. The odd thing I'm seeing is when I access the one running on 9032, looks just like it does on my PC. However, when I access the one on 9036, it appears to be formatted for a mobile device:
